ivTHE COATING OF ALUMINIUM WITH POLYANILINE CONDUCTINGPOLYMER, CHARACTERIZATION OF THE COATING ANDINVESTIGATION OF ITS CORROSION PROPERTIES(Ph. D. Thesis)Kubilay KARACİFGAZI UNIVERSITYINSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYSEPTEMBER 2005ABSTRACTIn this study, the electrodeposition of conducting polymer (polyaniline) coatingon aluminium was investigated. The polyaniline coating was succesfullyperformed by using cyclic voltammetry. In the corrosion tests, protectiveproperties of polyaniline coating were investigated by monitoring the opencircuit potential, current density-potential curves and impedancemeasurements. The coatings and coating-aluminium interface were investigatedusing optic and scanning electron microscopy. Protective properties ofpolyaniline coating were compared with bare and chromated aluminiumsamples. Results showed that polyaniline coating improved the corrosionresistance of aluminium.Science Code : 710Key Words :Conducting Polymer, Polyaniline, Corrosion, AluminiumPage Number : 144Supervisor :Prof. Dr. Burhanettin İNEM, Assoc.Prof.Dr.Tülin KIYAK
